Harem concubine system

The ancients called the system of providing sexual services to the emperor imperial. The place where the imperial concubine lives is called the harem, also called the Sixth Palace. The queen is the wife of the emperor, occupying the middle palace and in charge of the sixth house. The queen is the length of the sixth house. Imperial system and six palace system are the same meaning.

In the Zhou Dynasty, one of the duties of Nei Zai (an official of the imperial court) was to teach six ladies-in-waiting to obey five families with yin rites (etiquette norms that women should abide by). During the Qin Dynasty, the beauties of the six countries ranked in the sixth palace. Uncle Confucian, who helped the Emperor Gaozu to establish the system, combined the ancient ceremony with the Qin system, and continued and confirmed the six-palace system, as did later generations. When the six palaces become a system, it is necessary to give names to women who provide sexual services to the emperor. The Book of Rites stipulates that the son of heaven has a queen, three wives, nine wives, twenty-seven wives and eighty-one concubines. The queen is the wife of the emperor, heaven is the dry land of Kun, and heaven is the afterlife. So there is only one queen in each generation (except some dynasties established by ethnic minorities). In addition to the queen, there are different regulations on the title and quantity of imperial concubines in past dynasties. Besides the famous imperial concubine, there are countless ladies-in-waiting.
